Thursday, February 11, 2016: GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump will hold a campaign rally in Baton Rouge, LA at the Baton Rouge River Center. The event is scheduled to begin at 7:00 PM CST.
As the "Capital City", Baton Rouge is the political hub for Louisiana, and is the second-largest metropolitan city in the state, with an estimated population of 228,895 as of 2014. The metropolitan area surrounding the city, known as Greater Baton Rouge, had a population of 820,159 people as of 2013.The urban area has around 594,309 inhabitants.
HOW DID BATON ROUGE GET ITS NAME?
The French name le baton rouge ("the red stick") is the translation of a native term rendered as Istrouma, possibly a corruption of the Choctaw iti humma ("red pole") Andre Joseph Penicaut, a carpenter traveling with d'Iberville, published the first full-length account of the expedition in 1723. According to Penicaut,
"From there [Manchacq] we went five leagues higher and found very high banks called ecorts in that region, and in savage called Istrouma which means red stick [baton rouge], as at this place there is a post painted red that the savages have sunk there to mark the land line between the two nations, namely: the land of the Bayagoulas which they were leaving and the land of another nation—thirty leagues upstream from the baton rouge named the Oumas."
THE BATON ROUGE RIVER CENTER
At this time, I have no idea if the event will be in the large arena or the theater.
I am almost certain this is the same ....rude on purpose ....guy that was at his rally last night doing all kinds of shenanigans!
The same guy!
There are two of them in the hats looking like the cast from "Swamp People."
All that could change very quickly, you know!
Heck, it was 50 here last month!
I went to a game in Tiger Stadium. Baton Rouge. Those people are crazy loud!
These guys are gonna be a rowdy bunch! This is gonna be good!
Vraiment!!
Wooo Hooo. American Dreamer. Yes, I’m dancing exit82.
I don’t trust chip guy...like he’s going to throw something. He keeps wiping his nasty mouth weird.
Hopefully it is a small bag of nachos—he will be done before Trump starts....
Awwwwwwwwwwww. So sweet.
That’s what I was wondering
Someone who is good with photo posting should do a comparison.
Wheeeere’s Donald ???
Yes that is all I could find locally - plastic. I found all brass cartridges on Amazon for half the cost to boot.
5 minutes away in vehicle.
True. I’m grateful for every day that shortens winter. Dreaming of the golf course.
I can’t tell if he has a Make America Great Again hat and Trump buttons on - looks like it, thought could be a ploy.
I wonder if Willie Robertson will be there tonight - he endorsed Trump an he lives in LA.
Me too ! :-)
That isn’t too hard to do.
